Why did I wait so long to come here? This place is wonderful. Family run, homemade everything and just delicious. I took my daughter here for lunch this afternoon, after looking of the day's daily special board we both chose the tortellini in cream sauce.

Stopped for lunch today since it is so hard to get a dinner reservation. My friend and I thought it was the very best egg plant dish. The wonderful cook who makes this makes a small pile of this vegetable. It is fantastic. This place evolves nicely.

It has been over a year-not my choice. Slipped in last week for a great dinner. A special was braised chicken legs with mushrooms. Also had egg plant-mama's way. This tiny byo in uptown Harrisburg is a real winner.
